Mr F came to my house before going back home to BP.

I asked him to stay over at my house
since my brothers are both back h0me.

We didn't spend much time together as I spent too
much of the time cleaning up the house.

Before he went back, we went out to
buy some of my needed things.

Yeay!We got the time to spend on together at last! ^_^

OUR last IFTAR together for this year of Ramadan.Alhamdulillah.

Thank You Dear for your time ^_^

- BaZaaR RaMaDaN -

It’s that time of year again, where the smell of ayam percik fills the air and you discover that your stomach isn’t a bottomless pit. Yes, the bazaars are back and so, we have adopted a ‘divide and conquer’ end-game whereby specific bazaars are singled out for the great food they’re known for.

Whereabouts there are poultry stuff, or more specifically the ayam panggang and puyuh percik. The ikan panggang is also popular and comes a close second. The cheap and cheerful kuih-muih stalls are nothing to scoff at either. 

When it comes to Ramadan, there's this one thing that always comes in mind.

I can see it selling at any bazaar that I went.

It reminds me of that someone.

Kuih Tepung Pelita.

Hmm..

I never like that kuih.

But I do now.

Why eyh?

HuUu~ 

Not forgetting my favorite, kuih lapis and seri muka.

It is a must! ^_^

yum2~!!

The first time hearing the song, I fell in love with it.

Most of my friends said it's a weird song, but still I like it.

Everytime we went to work and back from work my friends and I will listen to this song as it

playing on the radio which makes them all started to like the song 

and we then started to sing along. 

EVERYTIME the song is on the air you know. 

LOL!

Nice song Najwa.

Keep it up!

Kita berkenalan hanya dalam laman muka buku
Kau hantar petanda suruh aku terima kamu
ooh.. Hati ku rasa sesuatu..

Dan pabila kau kata kau mahu jumpa aku
Ku gelisah berdebar hati rasa tak menentu
oohh.. Kenakah rasa itu..

Bagaimana harus bersua
Ku rasa gementar tapi bahagia
Perlukah kita cari peluang pertama
Walaupun kita tak pernah berjumpa

Banyak persoalan yang berada di minda
Banyak tanda tanya dan juga kata kerja
Otak kata jangan hati pula kata ya
Hidup tak menentu adakah ini cinta

Banyak soalan banyak juga jawapannya
Kata hati dan rasa tak dibiar saja
Setiap yang berlaku ada kebaikannya
Harus pejam mata dan cuba apa saja

Pabila kau renung tajam-tajam mata aku
Ku rasa sesuatu rasa yang ku tak tahu Oooo…
Ini cinta remajaku

Dan pabila kau katakan kau suka aku
Ku terdiam terkedu tak tahu mana nak tuju Oooo…
Itulah cinta yang satu, cinta di muka buku..

- 9 tHinGs a WoMan oN MeNsEs CaN d0 In RaMaDaN -

I'd like to share this post especially with all the women out there. Notice it please!


Almighty Allah has made it easy for a women in Ramadan during her menses for she is still able to get the same rewards as men. 

The good deed accounts don't stop when a women is menstruating for the angels are continuing writing down good deeds as long as a women is doing good actions in order to please Allah. 

The following are 7 good deeds a women can do whilst on her menses during Ramadan and throughout the whole year:

1. Listen to Qur'an recitation: 

Listening to recitation is the perfume of the souls, the calmer of hearts, and the food of the spirit. Is is one of the most important psychological medicines. It is a source of pleasure, even to some animals – and pleasure in moderation purifies inner energy, enhances the functioning of the faculties, slows down senile decay by driving out its diseases, improves the complexion, and refreshes the entire body. Pleasure in excess, on the other hand, makes the illnesses of the body grow worse.

Abu Nu’aim states, in his Tib an-Nabbi, that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that the benefits of listening to recitation are increased when it is understood – that is, when its meaning is understood. 

Allah Himself says:…so give good news to My slaves, those who listen to the word and then follow the best of it…(Qur’an: 39.17-18) 

Source: As-Suyuti’s Medicine of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)


2. Read the tafseer and meanings of the Qur'an

To reflect upon the verses of Allaah is a form of worship; it is something that will draw one close to Allah, Most High. 

Allaah, Most High, Says in the Quran (what means): "Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from [any] other than Allaah, they would have found within it much contradiction." [Quran: 4:82]

We should read and study the deeper meanings of the Qur'an and act upon everything we read as this is what the Sahaaba did. Some of the Sahaaba took a very long time finishing the Qur'an because they wanted to implement everything they read before moving on to the rest of the Qur'an.


3. Dhikr of Allah: 

A women on her menses can do excessive dhikr night and day. We will all have utter regret for each second wasted without remembering Allah:

Mu`adh Ibn Jabal (RA) said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The People of Paradise will not regret anything except one thing alone: the hour that passed them by in which they made no remembrance of Allah." Narrated Bayhaqi in Shu`ab al-iman (1:392 #512-513)

The highest rank in Jannah are for those who remembered Allah the most.

Therefore we should remember Allah as much as we can glorify him night & day, not just in Ramadan but until our very last breath. What better time to start remembering Allah more than in this most blessed month. 

So we should set ourselves daily targets of doing as much Dhikr as we can. We can remember & glorify Allah whatever we are doing throughout the day. At work, whilst cooking, shopping & even whilst relaxing. We should remember Allah in our heart's & not just by our tongues. We should also contemplate over his magnificence & his creations & imagine him in front of us as we glorify & remember him. 


The following are 10 Dhikr, supported by Hadith that we can recite throughout the day & night in Ramadan until our last breath: 


Note: We should try & aim to recite each of these 10 Dhikr a 100 times each which makes a total of 1000 a day minimum.

1. Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee - Recite this abundantly during the last ten nights of Ramadan.

2. Subhaanallah

3. Alhamdulillah

4. Allahu Akbar

5. Laa ilaaha illallah

6. LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH-HIL ALIYYIL ADHEEM

7. Asthaghfirullah-halladhee Laa ilaaha illa-huwal Hayyul Qayyuumu Wa athoobu Ilay

Or short version: Asthaghfirullah

8. SUB-HAAN'ALLAAHi WA BI-HAM'DIHI SUB-HAAN'ALLAH-IL ADHEEM 

Or short version: SUB-HAAN'ALLAAHi WA BI-HAM'DIHI

Or the shortened version:

Laa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay-in qadeer

We should also recite much of durood e Ibrahim which is the durood that is recited towards the end of Salaah. 

Or the shortest durood is: Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim


4. Dua & Repentance

A women in her menses can make excessive Dua to Allah night and day. 


The place of Dua is so high in front of Allah, that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim) has said: "Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Most High than Dua." [Sahih al-Jami` no.5268]. 

Allah loves repentance & loves those who turn to him in sincere repentance: 

Truly Allah loves those who turn [to Him] in repentance... (Qur'an 2:222)

Many of us rush our Dua’s & quite often our hearts are not present whilst we are making dua to Allah. That is why we lose out on much of the benefits & blessings of Dua. Therefore we should not let our minds wonder whilst in Dua & we should concentrate more, making sure our hearts are present whilst asking of Allah. Whilst we are in dua we should imagine Almighty Allah in front of us & so we should humble ourselves in front of him in a state of meekness & humility. 

It may also help if we made a list of what we want to ask Allah during our dua’s. We can then refer to this list as a reminder so that we can cover everything we need to ask him, which may help in making our Dua’s longer & more sincere. This is because we will not always remember everything we want to ask Allah unless we note it down & refer back to it when we need to.

The times when Dua's are most accepted during Ramadan are: 

1. The third portion of the night shortly before sehri ends. 2. Whilst fasting. 3. Between Asr & Maghrib. 4. Just before fast opens. 5. On Jumma before & after khutba. 6. Between Adhan & Iqamah. 7. Whilst raining. 8. After Qur'an recitation. 9. The Night of Qadr 

Let us not be of those who pass by Ramadan without gaining any forgiveness.

We should ask of Allah to accept all of our good deeds & efforts throughout Ramadan & be hopeful that Allah will accept it from us. We should also have FULL hope that Allah will accept our Dua’s if not in this world then in the hereafter. We should accept his decree for he knows best in all matters.

Subhanallah this deed can be done in EVERY dua and can you imagine how many rewards can be gained for each and every Muslim you make dua for from Adam alayhis 'salam until now and the last Muslim on earth. This is the easiest way to earn rewards that go into the billions and the more you make these dua's then the more your good deed account wil get filled!

5. Learning Islamic knolwedge: 

A women in her menses can learn Islamic knowledge as much as she can through books, online, teachers etc

"Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have been granted knowledge to high ranks."
(Qur'an)

"Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim (male and female)." (Hadith)


If Muslims truly realise the importance Islam places on knowledge and its virtues, they will definitely be keen to learn and teach others. They would start with themselves and their families; then their neighbours and the community at large. 


6. Serving your parents: 

A man once asked the Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallim):

"'Should I join the jihad?' He asked, 'Do you have parents?' The man said, 'Yes!' The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallim) said, 'Then strive by serving them!'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, No. 5972) 

Therefore serving one's parents is even better than jihad so serve your parents as much as you can and gain rewards you can NEVER imagine!

Treating your parents the best:

To be obedient and to show kindness to parents has been enjoined in the Holy Quran in such a manner as to say that among the noble deeds, to obey parents, treat them respectfully and to show kindness to them is next to worshipping Almighty Allah. 

7. Giving dawah: 

A women on her menses can give dawah to other sisters and non Muslims. We should spend our lives inviting others towards Allah whether they are Muslim or non Muslim.

"Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. They are prosperous ones." (3.104)

We should not argue with them or use a harsh manner but use wisdom, tact and the best approach possible:

We should enjoin good and forbid evil for it is a duty upon us:

Whatever beneficial knowledge we have we should convey it unto others so that they may also benefit from it.

8. Best Manners, Character & Conduct

A women on her menses should show the best manners, character and conduct in this blessed month and throughout her life. She should strive to be of those with the best of characters and manners as that is what will elevate us in the hereafter.

So let us strive to perfect our manners, character and conduct and know that these good deeds will be of the heaviest on the scales and will enable us to reach the highest ranks of Jannah.

9. Charity: 

A women in her menses should spend in the way of Allah as much as she can for charity extinguishes sins save one from the fire:

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Charity wipes out sins as water extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi)

Charity should be paid secretly:

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Righteous deeds protect a person from an evil end; a charity spent in secret extinguishes Allah’s wrath; and maintaining good ties of kinship increases ones lifespan.” (Tabaraani)

Removing harmful objects from people’s way is also a charity:

She can involve herself in charity work in her local community or for a charity organisation. She can do various projects to raise money and awareness for good cauises.


Conclusion

Therefore a women on her menses must never feel that she is not able to gain the blessings and reward of the month of Ramadan. There is NOTHING stopping her from gaining IMMENSE rewards equal to that of a man. All that is required from her is effort, the right good intentions and sincerety in her actions.

May Allah enable us to gain he best of this month. Ameen~ ^_^

.BELIEVE IN YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN OTHERS.

Labelz: believe.

-gLo0mY w0rLd-

 

I tried too hard

to be noticed.
I tried to be someone 
I was not.

waiting and waiting.
I watch time slowly tick away
as another day dawns.
I watch the world scurry around.

I wanted to be someone.
I wanted life and
I wanted love.

I wanted a lot of things
that were out of reach
as I sink in slowly
under the weight of expectations.

I tried to be what they
wanted me to be.
I tried to be what I was
not meant to be.

I tried too hard.
I pushed too far
and I went too far

with a forced smile,
and  a fake laughter
to cover my tracks.
I escape into the shadows,
and try to fight this one out.

 I'm living in the gloomy world.

Hey,

You only see what I choose to show,
But there is a lot that you don't know.
I regret a lot because I knew
Just how wrong they were to do.
It was really stupid and now I suffer
From all the things I used to cover.
I let it out 'cause I thought it was right,
But all it gave me was a lot of fright.
Some people know and others don't 

But all the other people always won't.

Labelz: noticed!
